A Zine or a Chap Book...Take Your Pick

·

I like medieval stuff, or more specifically medieval books. Perhaps this is the geek in me. "Zines" ("zine" comes from the last four letters of "magazine" or “fanzine”) are small booklets or pamphlets that are published today, usually handmade in limited editions.

Zines are similar to chapbooks which were invented in the 15th century and their subject matter included bawdy tales, prayers, nursery rhymes, recipes, ballads etc. They were printed on such cheap paper, that after they were read, the book pages were sometimes used a toilet paper!

My hand bound zine or chapbook above includes illustrations reproduced from a 15th century book, called, "Garden of Health" and printed in Germany in Latin, of course. This edition was hand-colored, probably by children or women (cheap labor) and sometimes the color goes outside the lines.

Opposite each illustration, I wrote a haiku poem about the picture.

Is Social Media Taking Over Our Sense of Self-worth?

Figure 1. Facebook “likes” feeding our ego (Deccan, 2017).

Have you ever been through a phase when you became so obsessive with engagement on social media and could not stop checking on the number of likes and comments you gained right after uploading a picture? I went through that phase about 6 years ago, when I first created my Facebook account and was an active user. 

Social media use has shot up in the past decade and has achieved a significant level of ubiquity in our daily lives. As of the end of 2018, Facebook has boasted over 2.32 billion monthly active users, in which 74% log in daily. In fact, half scroll through Facebook several times a day (Chen, 2019). From its initial objectives of mapping relationship and acting as an ideal arena for leisure, Facebook eventually turned out to be a competitive platform which became an indispensable part of our lives. 

According to the norm, getting the number of likes or followers may mean popularity, approval and acceptance for. Some find it a safe place to hide behind the persona of this virtual identity (Yang, 2017). Nevertheless, when their posts are not being noticed, it facilitates diffusion of negative emotions like loneliness, disappointment or even anxiety, as they feel lack of recognition and being dragged down when they don’t acquire the attention they’re looking for. Some may delete the particular post or even their accounts to hide away from reality. That is when social media possesses power over us, taking over our emotion stability & sense of self-worth. 

Sense of self-worth tend to decrease in oneself when we come across superior individuals. “Influencers” rule the social media world by selectively portraying enviable but only brief aspects of their lives which are mostly positive and interesting. Social media glamorises someone’s life, generating negative self-evaluation by making others feel “defeated”, when in reality, the information gleaned from social media to form impression on others are carefully constructed personal identities which do not reflect genuine characters, subconsciously directing us to focus on favourable sides one is willing to expose. When we are, unfortunately, lured into a game of comparisons, we will end up admiring others’ “ideal” lives, feeling life is unfair and unappreciative of our current situations.

Sometimes, it may imply that people use social media in order to obtain higher self-esteem by harvesting “likes” and fishing for comments, or to escape from feelings of low self-esteem and sense of worth (Andreassen, Pallesen, & Griffiths, 2017). Hence, we should not rely on the degree of “achievements” in social media to define how we are as individuals, as the only winners are the ones who don’t play. True identities will show when we learn to treasure self-worth.
